about the project

This minimalist tailored leather biker jacket is achieved through hand-skived edges and hidden seams. Japanese kimono silk detail is added on sleeve and pockets. Typically leather jackets are made of lambskin which is soft but susceptible to wear and tear. This leather is chromium tanned, drum-dyed, and milled as a bi-product of the beef industry. The milling process adds oils and fats to soften the leather while adding water resistance. Design includes branding detail on backside of collar.
